in 30 days
If you want to join me and write a novel too, sign up at http://www.nanowrimo.org/ . Go do it right now, before you forget.
Then in November, I’m going to write a novel. Yup, I’m participating in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. There’s all kinds of reasons not to do this:
- I have good reason to believe I’ll write a sucky novel. My high school English teacher gently recommended that I stick to technical writing instead of creative writing.
- Also, I have no training/experience with creative writing.
- And I have no idea what I’m going to write.
New 30 day challenges: Get my finances in order. Write a novel.

But who cares? I’m doing it regardless. The thirty days will pass either way,ghd pretty gift set, so I might as well get a novel out of it. Or more likely, a novella. The NaNoWriMo folks shoot for 50,Chi Flat Iron Pink,000 words, but I’m not going to beat myself up if I don’t write that much.
Alright,SEO - Link Building - SEM, I’ve decided my next two 30 day challenges. In October, I’m going to get my finances in order. Follow along with me to talk about money, hatch plans, and carry them out–it should be fun!
And yes,uggs button boots, I will be using Google Docs to write my novel. It has two things I need: auto-saving, and a word count function. Okay, three things, because you can do comments and formatting and weird fonts and colors and pictures and hyperlinks and stuff. And who knows, maybe I’ll need that? Who says a novel has to be just *words*?
I don’t know whether I’ll make the novel public or private. I’m leaning toward private. 50,000 words is ~175 pages in 30 days. That’s going to mean a lot of dialog on stilts and campy plot. The goal for me is to do something creative, but I see no particular reason to heap embarrassment on top of that. While you’re learning about NaNoWriMo, you can join in the fun if you want! November will fly by either way–why not try something new for a month?
